KenyaWeaviate is an open-source, AI-first vector database and search engine designed to scale with your machine learning models. Built to store both data objects and vector embeddings, Weaviate supports hybrid search (combining dense vector embeddings with sparse keyword BM25 search), multi-modal search, and out-of-the-box vectorization modules.
With Weaviate, developers can query their data using intuitive GraphQL APIs, REST endpoints, or official client SDKs (TypeScript, Python, Go, Java). It includes native vectorizer integrations for OpenAI, Cohere, Hugging Face, and Google Vertex AI, enabling automatic embedding generation upon data insertion.
